no need to be alarmed with the idea of being enslaved... once they get self-replicating nanites they won't have any need for slaves ;)

i'm getting close to 30 hours play time so i thought i'd provide an update. so far i'm still really enjoying the game. up's and down's as follows: pro's: - being in the ocean is awesome, and scary - game looks really nice - is very immersive in it's interface - very scary sharks - there's some flyin...

it feels like your fears are this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGvIrf86g4Y but you should be excited by this: http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_mills_image_recognition_that_triggers_augmented_reality?language=en i was talking to someone earlier tonight about Nikola Tesla, and they brought up an idea...

http://i57.tinypic.com/3028caa.jpg So I forked out the $15 mainly because I have a paranoia about deep sea water and the stranded games before have always provided interesting survival situations. the first alpha release hasn't disappointed me at all. in all honesty, i've found it absurdly entertai...

honestly it's just ksp... one of the things i love in minecraft is building bases that are like frontier-stations, there for future benefit when you want to expand in a direction. the fact that the only way to build a space-station on the moon is to land one there is pretty much the sole reason why ...

the way i see it, it's more about buying the IP than any software. they want the community base. i expect this purchase is more about minecraft2, which won't be a java game. and i also expect minecraft2 will make well more than $2.5b. if it doesn't, you can be sure that by minecraft7 they will final...

i had a start recently where i had access to a big lava lake next to a water source. it took a few goes, but i eventually made a nether portal using just water and lava and dirt. on that run, there was still iron in the walls of nearby ravines and i was skipping it, just smelting down the swords and...

i was recently reading some other news story about an april fools joke gone bad, and i ended up following a number of links to more than i care to count all about april fools jokes that caused more grief that enjoyment. we all can appreciate a well played joke, and while some of us respond poorly, s...

it was lupus in one episode
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Don%27t_Want_to_Know

i work with many disabled and elderly people. even for those struck by a physical trauma, it feels better to think of them as 'changed' rather than 'damaged'. it's a matter of perspective. we all grow old, most of us will suffer problems along the way. i just try and make that experience as not unpl...

i can't remember where i learned about it but i suspect it was from someone on this forum. kick ass little game, bit of a shame it never seemed to be taken seriously and developed extensively. i guess when the unreal engine became obsolete we lost more than we realised

i stumbled across a quirky donation link today that i thought worth sharing: http://i41.tinypic.com/sc84jq.jpg it seems quite suitable for the developer, who's game is in part derived from their own experiences as finnish survivalists. the graphics in the game are on par with the donation pic, so do...

Anyone still interested in this game, Alpha 5 is now out... on steam. most of the last 3 updates seem to have added enough to be considered worth calling them an actual update, but i only played the alpha 4 so far. i think they're starting to get a real feel for how they want us to experience their ...

so i've played a bit... it's funny that punching tree's seem's to be the best strategy for the first minute, after you loot that car and it' surroundings of course. 'wood spike' trap's are awesome! i'm yet to properly establish a walled compound with any kind of decent killing mechanism... but that'...

yeh i really ought to try it... i've played enough bloody kerbal recently to drive me crazy recently i've played enough kerbal. oh crap, i missed the periapsis also, it's kind of sad what's become of romero. maybe he's infected? ironically, his recent work resembles it's earlier self but not in the ...

i'm yet to play this one [edit: but i have watched a few "let's play's" from earlier releases]... but having just watched 'world war z' last night i've been reminded of one of the things about zombie games that i dislike, that this game has now gone for. spider zombies? i know it adds tens...

if you're a fan of either acoustic guitar or the band tool, this video comes with my highest recommendations :)

i disagree that they are both the real deal. i think if you asked bear grills to actually survive for seven days and make things interesting, he would either kill himself by accident, or be so unbelievably boring you'd kill yourself. what les does isn't just survive and start seeking his way back to...

don't listen to anyone but your own heart. you're the one that has to live with your decisions, and something tells me this girl is a lot more addictive that a video game. but i guess that's gonna be your field of expertise hey ;) i never spoke to you before gates of logic, and i probably never will...

do yourself a favor, watch Les Stroud's 'Survivorman.' he's the legitimate bear grills... each episode he gets dropped off somewhere all by himself, with generally no food or water and only situational/circumstancial supplies. oh, and 25kg's of camera equipment, because he films it all himself. it's...

i dunno FC... imo that vanilla bug fix on pistons heads classifies as 'major stuff'. at a minimum, i'm sure you've cost pharmaceutical companies many thousands of dollars profit on headache pills as we find easier ways to redstone wire up our contraptions :)

i'm with you on that gun fight scene FC. that was some poor directing to get a cliffhanger, which was weird when there was a perfect and natural cliffhanger 3 minutes later. i like your idea on jesse, but i really like what they did instead. really sets up the future, as the one thing we know from t...

oh, pandorum is another new sci-fi movie that was great

i have to second "sunshine" as a great sci-fi movie. it's bringing a smile to my face right now thinking about it. definitely worth getting a 1080p version as well. some movies actually are better in HD :)

the seven samurai city of god the dinner game hobo with a shotgun taxi driver primer i find it's often good to pick a movie you really liked, find out who directed it and wrote it, and watch other movies they have directed or wrote. gus van sant is a fantastic director (good will hunting, finding fo...
